My game died, not sure why?

I had around 20-30 players consistently for a while. Then suddenly it seems the algorithm stopped pushing the game, my stats got worse and the game just kind of died.
I am not sure what happened since I don’t think I pushed any negative changes.

I would appreciate it if someone can check the game out and see if there’s something in the experience that is bad. I have added a lot of new mechanics lately and maybe I screwed something up.

Here is some gameplay if you want to see what the game is before trying:

Im bumping this for visibility

Did you make this all yourself? It looks really high quality well done! I am convinced certain art styles might attract more audience its a niche game, and the lighting is a bit dark in contrast to the colorful swords and VFX, might be worth toning down to a more passive appearance

Thanks! I am the only developer but much of the art is commissioned and so on :slight_smile:

the atmosphere is a bit empty : (

maybe adding some music (like doom metal) or add a background wind noise and thunder might help?

oh wait i hear the music but its really quiet compared to everything else

you mean during the mission itself, or in the lobby?
There is no music when no “horde” is active. I am considering having the music there the whole mission, I guess it makes sense

so i just played your game and i have some new feedback

the first thing i notice when playing the game is that my footstep sounds are still using the default roblox footsteps. it was kind of odd hearing that in first person, so you could maybe swap that out for something else.

that goes the same for the default healthbars, it doesnt really fit with the custom gui healthbars for the player

while taking damage, i also noticed that the red-coloured frame that flashes on my screen doesnt go all the way up to the top of my roblox window

also strangely, the hotbar has a weird order where it goes 1, 2, 6, 3, 4, F. it confused me for a moment because i was trying to press “3” to equip my pickaxe when it was set to “6”. im not sure if this is a bug or not, but its something worthy to be noted

as for the music, the lobby is completely silent whereas there’s music during a run

thats all ive got
